Farage Beats Count Binface in Clacton, Then Skips His Own Victory Party
Nigel Farage got his seat back. The Reform UK leader won the Clacton by-election he triggered himself, taking 22,239 votes to 9,455 for Count Binface, the satirical candidate who campaigns with a trash can on his head. But the night ended strangely: Farage skipped the official vote count early Friday and canceled his planned victory speech, while Binface walked away with the best result of his six-election career.
